Search for any Shimano lever and replace it, will be cheaper
well since they're the older style I have to replace both assemblies ;( which will be 60$ before the bleed for both but I guess I'll do that wait could I possibly run SLX levers on deore calipers?

You could run any shimano lever on whatever caliper IIRC, not sure on the older ones, you could ask whattheheel he knows a lot.

Thats a way to kill them for sure. Reminds me of when my old Hayes leaked past the bladder. Sorry to hear and hope you find some new ones you like. I hear Codes are sweet...

Hey Mint life there are these:::if the front still works just get one new lever for now?

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/shimano-deore-m615-disc-brake-lever/rp-prod108825

I wonder if you couldn't take the levers apart to see if there is an obvious o-ring blowout? I have not had to do this but it may be a possibility since the levers are toasty anyway it cant hurt, could be really cheap that way...Also its worth bleeding yourself to save money, if you get a little bottle of the shimano mineral oil it is actually pretty simple with the deors to gravity bleed them.

I do bleed my brakes myself, and the o rings are shot...i was just thinking if I have to replace one lever assembly then might as well just replace them both so that they match and for the 3$ more I can get the tool free reach adjust so I was looking at these lever assemblies

I do bleed my brakes myself, and the o rings are shot... The actual level assembly is leaking oil so if I replace one lever assembly I don't want it to not match and look bad....
So I was looking at these lever assemblies

Right on...yeah I'm not sure if you can rebuild the old lever ass.'s but as far as levers go...I have an avid juicy 3 front and new XT rear on my pitch now, when I get some more flow I'll match them but if trail time is important mismatched stuff works well while in a monetary pinch Smile whatever gets you rolling !

Odd chainring bolts just scream "i cobbled this together"

Other than that, I dig the yellow. I'd probably go with either blue or red, not both though.

Holy hell that's a keen eye. I wanted to say I dislike the CB dropper and the cable routing for it. Otherwise it's pretty sweet.

The CB dropper would look a lot better if he pulled it apart and flipped it so the cable went into the back.
